Football, Mexican Food, and Ice Cream

Monday, June 24th

Today, we got up and ate the leftover breakfast from the Rally and decided to head down to Canton, OH to see the Pro-football Hall of Fame. We were slow-moving, maybe because we've been eating a lot of carbs, due to being in "rally-mode". You can't help but eat "bad"! Before we left the park we also took a look around the park store, and checked out the laundry. We'll need to do that soon!
We decided we were craving Mexican food... Note it's been 2.5 weeks since we had true Tex-Mex, so we opted to head to Chili's restaurant in Canton. One, because we had a gift card, and two because we knew what to expect from their Mexican dishes. We've been let down before from local, northern "Mexican food", which has been poor at best. At Chili's we had fajitas, and they were great! Even had a great deal, buy one fajita meal, get one for a $1.00.
After lunch we headed to the Hall of Fame.

The outside was interesting. I expected the football-shaped dome to be bigger!
We entered, paid, and had a good time looking at the exhibits and interactive displays. The second floor houses the hall of fame, with the busts of the inductees.

After going through all the exhibits at the Hall of Fame, we picked up some souvenirs and headed back home. We had dinner of leftovers, and enjoyed relaxing for the evening. before it got dark I decided to bike up to the office for some "happy camper" ice cream, which had marshmallows, graham cracker bits and chocolate bits in it. Yum! Tony went with me and had Heath Bar caramel crunch ice cream. It was really good too. Ok now we are really "off the wagon" on the diet, but we'll get back on track soon, I promise!

We headed back home and watched some Pawn Stars and Duck Dynasty, then hit he hay.
